Predator 007

Let me know what you think of this deal...


MSRP of 120,510
Discount -9,997
Total 111,348


I was looking into leasing and they quoted me $1,575 plus $1,095 acquisition fee, plus $310 for docs, title, and taxes due at signing. This is a 36 month lease with 10k miles per year.


I am use to BMW's MSD's (multiple security deposits) to get the payment down. My last car was $118k and my payment was $1,100. Doesn't sound like Mercedes does anything like that.


Any thoughts on whether this is fair or should I keep shopping. My luck would be to get into a car and then find out everyone is getting 20k off sticker, lol.

I'm getting $17.1k off at a suburban Philly dealership on a car I ordered that should be here this week. Where I'm confused is my lease is the same amount with $2600 total out of pocket including tax. Rolling in 3 lease payments of 917.56. Cap Cost still a lot lower then yours and this is for 12,000 miles a year for 3 years.

Your number is quite high. There is a $5500 discount from MB alone which means your dealer is only taking $4400 off the car. With a facelift coming imminently the discount should be much higher.

phillyreem

What do you think of my deal

msrp $119,615
sale price $102,374

???

emilner

Thats right on the money. You hear of $20k off deals but they are unicorns, $15k off a $100's car ($107k etc) and $17-18k off a $120's car is respectable.

Just got back from the dealer. Here is where we are...


$120,510 MSRP
-$13,510 Discount
$107,000 Sales Price


*They are installing a rear spoiler, 20% tint on windows and hard wiring my V1.


36 Month Lease with 10k miles $1,400, with $2,900 due at signing.


or


$52,000 One pay lease.


Residual based on 51% and money factor of .0025. At the end of the lease the buyout is $61,460


Thoughts??

phillyreem

looks like their holding the dealer cash or fleet discount of $5500.

phillyreem

rear spoiler is a $500 port installed option.

My wife works for P&G and she said they can't double up the discounts. Not sure if that is true or not.


By doing the spoiler $500, tint $250+/-, hardwiring the radar, $150+/-, along with the discount off MSRP of $13,510 I figure I am looking at a total discount of about $14,410. Gut feeling is that it seems pretty fair. Hard to say though.

phillyreem

Here is my deal including fleet. Fleet increases $1k so now its $102,274. You're right, it can't be fleet and dealer cash. It's either or but they are the same amount at $5500

Predator 007

So you think there is 4-5k still on the table? I would like to do the one payment and never think about it again. They want $52,000 out the door, so I was thinking of going back and asking for $50,000 out the door. Seem fair?

phillyreem

yes. There's more. And may even be more come June. Where are you located. If on the East Coast I know two dealers willing to deal

Predator 007

Offer 48k one time pay and see what they say? I'm in Ohio.

phillyreem

call Tom Palmer at EuroMotorcars Devon or Marc Goldsmith Keenan Motors

both in suburban Philly

Predator 007

Talked to Marc and he ran the numbers and seemed to think I was getting a pretty good deal. I countered back on the $52k one at 48k. They came back at 51,015.

So counter with $48,452.37

Exactly, but wait a week first. I bet they contact you first. Once they do, you have them hooked! They need to sell you the outdated 2017 more than you need to buy it.

Or better yet, if they do contact you, tell them you want all kinds of info on the 2018....

Predator 007

Settled at $49,500 so I did the one pay. One pay saved me about $5,600. Car ended up being discounted from $120,510+rear spoiler, + window tint, + hardwiring my radar detector to $106,000.


So I figure full MSRP would be around $121,210. I essentially got them down $15,210. Even got the speech that they were not making any money and the sales person didn't get anything.

Socalsteve

I love that speech! I cannot remember ever buying a car where I didn't get that speech...

phillyreem

ugh thanks for making me regret not getting the 20's and white!! Beautiful car. What other options did you get. I pick mine up tomorrow morning.

Predator 007

I have that info in a new thread I just put up about my new sled.
